RCIA--Inquiry

Are you someone baptized in another faith but interested in becoming Catholic?
Are you someone who has never been baptized?
Were you baptized as a Catholic, but never received your First communion or Confirmation?

If you answer yes to any of the above, INQUIRY may be right for you.  Offered year round, Inquiry allows you to seek answers to the questions you may be asking about the Church and the Sacraments.  For information, call Marie Kinney at 996-5109, Extension 21 or holycrosskinney@triadbiz.rr.com.
